Google has committed to pushing software updates to its Glass headset each month, and a post on Google+ reveals this month's tweaks are focusing on pictures. If you're a fan of using the device for POV shots, it should take better pictures by capturing a sequence of images for improved low-light p...

Some mornings you just don't want to get out of bed. We've all got our own methods for starting the day, but few are quite so...electric...as this this one spotted at Maker Faire over the weekend. No doubt even Tesla himself couldn't have concocted a better way to shake oneself loose from a bad ca...

With the Android handset market as jam-packed as it is, it can be tough to distinguish your device from the maddening crowd. We've seen some bizarre and sublime attempts to do so over the years, but few have reached the terminal velocity of HTC's skydiving fashion photoshoot aimed at promoting its...

Are you besieged by celebrities? Sure, you could try turning off the TV, but now there's a more complex, DIY solution: Enough Already, an Arduino box that mutes your television at any mention of certain names -- Lady Gaga, for example. The setup's fairly simple if you're comfortable with hardwa...

Nobody likes being bothered while they're really getting into a movie, and as we all know you can't really get into a movie unless it's in 3D. Right? Sir Ian McKellen took things a step further, not only watching a screening of The Hobbit in the third dimension but doing it in character, and look...

"We call it a very nice phone and you can get it on a 12 month contract." Oh, really, Tesco? Nifty! So, how much is that bag of day-old doughnuts... with and without a contract?
Don: "Knowing my luck, if I buy this now they'll have an iPhone 4 with a Bold keyboard on sale next week."
Darren: "D...

In non-Soviet Russia... presidents tend to receive some pretty swanky high-tech gifts. Dmitry Medvedev, leader of the good people of Russia and one of the few men to successfully rock denims with a suit jacket, has been bestowed with a fresh new iPad 2 and his facial expression seems to suggest he ...

See that picture above? Yeah, it needs a caption, and we need you to caption it!
Of course, we're not asking you to be creative for absolutely nothing. We know that it's hard coming up with funny captions for screenshots, and that's why we're adding a little bit of an incentive into the mix. Ho...

Bus. Ice cream truck. Personal space invader. Vessel of illicit speaker transport. It's all semantics, anyway.
Darren: "Man, this smoke is great, but damn if I'm not suddenly craving an orange Push Up."
Joe: "Unlike the Street View car, the Bing truck is equally at home on the street or at a ra...

Is there any love more forbidden?
Nilay: "So... do you have the iPhone?"
Ross: "Hey, we ran out of markers coloring our 3G coverage map, can we borrow yours?"
Richard Lai: "Stealth sabotage fail."
Chris: "Can you hear me now, [censored]?"
Thomas: "Trust me, I just need help lifting this couc...

Last week we launched the first of three awesome EVE Online contests in association with CCP Games. To celebrate the upcoming launch of EVE's Tyrannis expansion with its impressive planetary interaction feature, we asked players to submit their best screenshots featuring planets. We expected around...

Hey remember that feel-good iPad introduction video with the Ben Folds cover of "In Between Days" Apple posted on launch day? Yeah, well you're going to remember the hell out of it once you watch it with Google's auto-transcription enabled on YouTube. Trust us, you owe yourself these few moments of...

What in the world is a double-cat? Well, Fallen Earth is currently holding a special kind of caption contest where players will find out, shortly followed by the rest of the world. It remains to be seen whether we shriek in horror or laugh in a fit of terror-filled glee. Either way, your caption wil...

Far be it from us to make fun of people for their favorite pastimes -- that would, in fact, be the pot calling the kettle black (considering that we're both addicted to gadgets and quilting, we have little room to point fingers). However, it's possible that you might be a serious nerd if you're ca...

Karma's a bitch on the streets of Chicago. Chris: "Oh, the boot is attached to a third-party wheel? We don't support that configuration, sir." Paul: "Did you try restarting it?" Don: "Ok, sir, we can remove the boot between the hours of 8AM and 8PM. Will you be at the vehicle?" Darren: "Fired." Nil...

If you've ever seen a screen caption here on Massively (largely supplied by the bloggers who post them) then you've probably thought, "I could do better than that!" If these words have indeed passed through your noggin, then here's your chance to show us how it's done. Cryptic's got yet another co...

HAY GUYZ, we've got this terrific image of a cat resting his tired head on a Wii Fit board, but our LOL caption has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to come up with a replacement caption? The commenter with the funniest bit of accompanying text will win ... nothing. You might ea...

I hope everyone had a blast participating in this week's Caption This contest! However, as of Wednesday night at 11:59 PM EST the entry period officially closed, and I'd like to thank everyone who participated for making it a success! (And if you missed this week's contest, never fear, there wil...
